TWICE-A WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR THE SHERIFF SHOULD NOT BE CENSURED Mr. Dock Smith, Father of Mrs. Shrow- der, Speaks a Few Words of Praise For Sheriff Sheppard. t Wednesday’s Cordele Daily News: A‘News man was introduced to Judge Dock Smith Tuesday, lather of Mrs. John Shrowder, and know ing that a great many people throughout the county were harshly criticising Sheriff George Sheppard- and Deputy Sheriff Lee Sheppard for not finding and arresting George and Andrew Bundrick. Judge Smith was interviewed and talked B8 follows: “Yes sir, 1 am the father of Mrs. Shrowder and am just as anxious for those men to be arreste.d as any one in Dooly county.’’ “Well Judge, do you think that Mr. Lee Sheppard did all he could to get the Bundricks?” “Yes sir, I do, and futhermore he und his father, who was sick in bed at the time, are now using their best efforts to arrest them to my best knowledge and belief. Now, I live within less than half a mile from one of those boys, and all these rumors abodt they having stayed around their homes attend ing to business is in the main grossly false and unjust to the high sheriff of our county. No, the sheriff and his deputy should not be blamed, for they did just as I would have done under tffe same circumstances -—that is, they did all that could be done to arrest the boys. This is not only my honest belief, but that of a number of the best citizens of our neighborhood.” His Life in Psril. "I just seemed to have gone all to pieces,” writes Alfred Bee of Welfare. Tex.

This is perhaps more generally true in the sparsely populated districts; but it is not confined to them. It is seen and felt also in the cities. Boards of education and school di rectors have a grave responsibility resting npon them in this respect, and no man who is tit to hold such a position will uppronch the work without feeling it. The time oi the school children is too precious be wasted in attending upon in duction at the hands of those who 'know little of the responsibility rests upon them, and who perhaps dot not care to know. It sometimes takes longer to unlearn that which Je fallacious, taught by an incom- ent teacher, than it did to imbi- the false notions that are to be fanlearaed.

Two Rewards Offered ' For Bundrick Boys. The rewards were offered by Governor Candler yesterday for the artest of George and Andrew Bundrick, who shot and killed John Shrowder and seriously in jured Mrs. Shrowder in this county a few days ago. The reward in each case is $150. Shrowder and his wife were riding along the road when they were fired upon. An additional reward of $150 has been offered ior their capture and delivered in any jail in the United states, by private parties. This makes a reward of 9450 in all, and it is quite a neat sum for the trou ble of making the arrests if their whereabouts can be learned.

Chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture | HERE is much talk and discussion regarding nature studies in the public schools, but there is very little of a specified character that can be used ns a prece dent in preparing a plan of action. I BELIEVE THAT NATURE STUDY SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO REACH THE FAD STAGE, BUT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED WHOLLY WITH A VIEW TO ENLARGING THE CHILD’S THINKING POWERS. As a general rule, the idea of nature ..study is connected with something that has for its object teaching a child how to grow a few plants and training them from the purely aesthetic side. MY IDEA IS THAT NATURE STUDIES SHOULD BE MADE TO TRAIN THE CHILD’S MIND IN THE MATTER OF MAKING IT FAMILIAR WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTHS OF NATURE in the hope that gradual familiarity with such truths will develop the better instincts of the nature as well as instill from the very beginning an intelligent grasp of botany.
